How it works

  1. 1

    Describe your pet

    Photo, name, last-seen location — exactly what a finder needs.

  2. 2

    Download the PDF

    Print-ready A4 with photo and QR code, generated instantly.

  3. 3

    Hang it where it counts

    The vet, the café, the supermarket, lampposts around the last-seen spot.

Make a missing cat poster

Add a clear photo and a few key details so people nearby can recognise your cat and know what to do if they see them.

  • Choose a recent photo

    Pick a clear, recent photo that shows your cat’s face, coat and distinctive markings. A well-lit picture helps people recognise them.

  • Add the details people need

    Include your cat’s name, distinctive features, and the area and date they were last seen. Give a nearby area or landmark, not your full home address.

  • Let people report a sighting

    The QR code opens your pet’s report page, where people can send you a sighting report.

Download and print your poster

Download the A4 PDF and print it in colour if possible. Check that the text and QR code are easy to read, and ask permission before displaying it near the last-seen area.

The QR code does the work

Whoever scans it sees your alert page and reports a sighting in seconds — no phone number to mistype.

Poster and online alert belong together

The poster is part of your PawAlarm search: the same photo and details power the alert page neighbours share online.

Questions about your missing-pet poster

Can I download the poster without paying for ads?
Yes. You can download the poster as an A4 PDF and use your pet’s public search page without buying ads. Paid local advertising is an optional later step.
What do I need to create the poster?
Enter your pet’s name, last-seen location and an email address. You can add a photo and a description. Your email is used for the dashboard link and sighting notifications.
What happens when someone scans the QR code?
The QR code opens your pet’s search page. A finder can report where and when they saw your pet and optionally add a photo or contact number. The sighting is saved in your dashboard and an email notification is sent to you. Reporting stays available after paid ads expire, until you close the search.
What file do I download, and can I print more copies?
You download an A4 PDF that you can print again. Check your printer’s paper-size and scaling settings, and make sure the text and QR code are readable before putting up copies.
